Greenfield police investigate fake apartment rental promotion

Police said two women skimmed an amount of money in six figures by faking a rental promotion at a popular apartment complex.

It was the move-in specials that tipped off the owner of the Heritage apartments.

The complex owner filed an embezzlement complaint after two of his managers said they had given new tenants their first month rent-free, but tenants reported they'd paid for the first month in cash.

The Heritage declined to comment on the investigation Monday, but WISN 12 News obtained court records that said the two women told renters the first month's rent had to be paid in cash. But the money -- as much as $100,000 -- failed to appear in company ledgers.
